Castle In My Mind

In this castle
Created in my mind
A tree,
This tree
A scar
A jagged one 
Still healing
Blood dripping
Forms a path

Two watchmen
Chipping away
Away at it's skin
Creating holes
To suck out blood
Warning others 
To follow the path

The path
A constant path
Almost invisible 
Leaves an endless highway
That will not be seen
From 

Far away

it forms a thin
Long and Knotted trail
Small black dots
On this pathway
Twisting and turning 
Around the tree
In this castle
Created in my mind

None have wondered
Where this path goes
They follow the crowd
The sounds
Constant sounds
Almost silent
Leave prints
That will be heard 

Far away 


Calluses, Sores, and scabs 
Created 
From the non-stop endless migration
The rhythmic pecks
The perpetual stomps
Of these creatures
in my mind

Forever 
Endless
As it seems
When will one 
break through it's sea

The truth 
An unknown truth
Can be turned into 
Lies
The destination unknown
Cannot be reached 
As it is
So

Far away

A Lone Leaf

Clinging desperately
A lone leaf
On an autumn branch,
Enduring the cold winds that blow
The breath of winter,
The darkened skies,
The bare branches of a skeleton tree.
One more push and it will fall,
Swoop down in all glory,
To paraphrase life's forgotten misfit ideals
No matter the tenacity of the leaf,
How strong its stem holds,
Falling is fate,
And rotting is
Inevitable
Among the others
Engraved in stone.

The Reason For My Absence

This is just a quick message I'm sending out to let you know that I'm back on after a long absence. I had brain surgery on a brain tumor(called vestibular shwannoma). Just wanted to update you on my absence.

The Flower

Above a dark hill
One flower
A flower amongst others fallen

His skinny malnourished browning trunk among them
His pale face watches and ponders
His eyes slowly dimming like the stars

The stars die fast then are born again
That's what we see through our eyes
How fast do we pass

How fast do our eyes dim
To the stars above
In their dark cloudy space

The Sunset

The sunset, falls slowly
Blistering, she slips wantonly home
A Blossoming flower spins freely in the wind
The droplet, falls quietly, silent on the apple tree
A fluid sigh slips, and spirals among the stars

Raining Up

In my house, the flickering candles dance on the ceiling,
The steady sound of cars passing,

I close my eyes, then gray skies
Raining up, instead of down

Dark waves cover me, a current takes over me,
This current that likes to surf my soul, it pulls the tears out of me

Like trying to run though a muddy swamp
Or escaping from a thick fog

This endless war inside of me, will never stop,
The ups and downs, The happies and sads

He takes my tears, up they go, up into his ragged dirty linen,
The pillows up there, they rain up

Why do they take the things that hurt,
Out of us and eat it

Just to return it, like a finely wrapped present, so we can eat it
To close our eyes again

Time

These ripples in  
Time

That twist then
Turn

Through the tipping 
Towers

They bend the
Times

They fall through 
Time

Their time then
Sinks

That they had
Together

A Walk At Night

Long walks at night
A cold breath freezes my soul
The moon warms it up
She shines in my body,
But my blind eyes cannot see it
I was told she had a face like a clock
She spots the thieves by the garden wall
She hushes children
And charms the flowers 
to close their eyes
Until the rooster sings his song

Engulfed In White

Under
 the darkened cloudy stars
    The snowy covers
                   over
You p u l l  me
We watch them f
                            a
      		    l
	                   l, 
Like s            p                stones            
         k     p      i     g
             i            n
                             

across the endless 	charcoal sky

You      write
         a name in the
            snow 

In the snow
          upon
           my
         grave

My name is gone, 

                       E
                 D   in   N
             E     white    G
                 F           L
	               U

Time passes by
  I     pass    by
	
Showing how fast things can 

Disappear

Grass

Everyone was right
                                  The grass is never greener 
                                        On the other side
